Gifts and Historical Properties

The United States Air Force Academy does not have a museum; however, we receive gifts on an almost daily basis. These gifts range from cadet uniforms to graduate memorabilia, paintings and art objects, and bronze replicas of WWII aircraft. In addition, static display aircraft have been placed around the Academy.

Driving in the South Gate, you will see a T-38 Talon and the A-10A Thunderbolt II "Chopper Popper" at the Thunderbird Airmanship Overlook.

Driving in the North Gate, you will see "Diamond Lil", a B-52D Stratofortress.

There are four aircraft in the cadet area that can be viewed from the Academy Chapel: a McDonnell-Douglas F-15 Eagle, a General Dynamics F-16A Fighting Falcon, a Republic F-105D Thunderchief, and a McDonnell-Douglas F-4D Phantom II.
